Khoom Kam Kaew

Wonderfull place to stay in the middle of green ricefields. We visited this resort now for the 3rd time. This is the real Thailand. In the middle of rice field at the foot of the mountains it is an oase of silence and beauty. When you don't like the mass tourism like Pukhet, Pattaya etc. you better go north to the best side of Thailand. At the resort is everything you need for a very relaxed stay after a trekking through the mountans. Good and fresh food from own organic gardens in the nice open restaurant. We parked our motorhome for 5 mounth during our stay in Holland. De owner took care of it. Thanks a lot. When we came back everything was perfect. There is a nice and clean swimmingpool. There are original wooden Thai houses for sleeping. No airco but fans, for us it was OK. The houses are beautiful. You also can stay in one off the comfortable brickhouses including airco. The houses are situated in a well maintained beautifull garden, with the sound of nature. The staf is very friendly and helpfull and they can give a lot of info. We can highly recommend this resort when you are travelling through the north of Thailand and want to have a relaxed break for some days. Ad and Bernadette

We stayed here for three days in late January. Beware this place is really difficult to find. Yes we should have printed the maps from their website but still would have struggled to find the place with them. In fact, a member of staff of the local bank got in our hire car with us and took us to Doi Farang - so typical of the fantastic friendly Thai people, otherwise we would still be circling Phrao. Doi Farang is beautifully set out with pool and gardens plus their own veggie garden. We were the only visitors and had our own chef to cook Thai food for us - these meals were delicious. One night we had a schnitzel night where Michael our host cooked, very good with the freshest salad ever. A couple of negatives, the beds are rock hard and the showers not very good. The road through the rice field is difficult and therefore you are locked in at night as you can't leave the premises due to the difficulty navigating the road in the dark. All in, a good 3 days but with room for improvement. Not a lot of other options in Phrao

Doi Farang is an excellent choice if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of touristy hotspots. Michael is a super helpful host and will tell you about things to do and see in the vicinity of Phrao. He also made us a special German dinner on the second night, which was delicious. Accommodation is simple but clean and the venue is just beautiful, with farm animals and friendly cats running around. If you're looking for a quite place and memorable experiences, Doi Farang is the place to go.
